In the Federalist paper, Jay mentions the importance of the union and how it was being questioned by the Antifedrealist and the people. The people not realizing the tremendous disadvantage it would have had in the future, a future they would have not lived to see. They began believing what the Antifederalist was saying; not comprehending that this entire person really wanted was to keep the power they held. In The Antifederalist paper it mentions that, no single system could manage all 13 states (or 12). They believed the only alternative to adopting the Constitution was to break up the union a union that would later benefit all off us. The only thing that every one agrees in one thing, the importance of government, and the necessity of giving up personal liberty to sustain that government. The only question was will the people be willing to give up some of their liberty for a more federal and centralized government or persist on a government of separate confederacies. The success of the American people to this point depended on unity. The American People did not realize that this unity was the same thing as the unions the Federalist were trying to work so hard for. The American people and the Antifederalist did not realize at that time that if the United States would have declined the Constitution and stayed as individual States Spain, Mexico or any other country would came along and taken over our precious land. The land we now call home and have the freedoms we have today, not only would we have lost all of that but we would have borders all over the United States, and the United States would probably only be united by two states instead of all fifty, like we are today.
